The headboard and bench arrived two days earlier than I had anticipated.  Both items were easy to assemble in under 15 minutes.  The headboard and the bench are of excellent quality, and the color is a beautiful emerald green.  I wasn't sure how sturdy the bench would be; however, my brother-in-law, who weighs over 300 pounds, sat on it and it didn't break!  Both pieces are very sturdy.  My queen-sized adjustable platform bed will be delivered in two days, so I hope that this headboard works as well with an adjustable platform as other reviewers have indicated.
